Flash CS5 Will Build Native iPhone Apps

post from Daring Fireball on 05 October 2009 08:44:00 PM. © Daring Fireball

John Nack:

Today at Adobe MAX, the company announced that Flash tools will be able to build applications for iPhone that can be distributed through Apple?s App Store. A beta version of Flash Professional CS5 with this new capability is planned for release later this year. These aren?t Flash SWF files, they?re native iPhone apps.

This is not a port of the Flash runtime. You can’t use this to load Flash content over the web. What it means is that Flash developers can export native iPhone apps — compiled ARM binaries in .ipa packages — which can then be submitted to Apple through the normal App Store process. There are already eight such apps (built using beta versions of the new Flash developer tools) available in the App Store.

This is very interesting technology. That Adobe would go to this length perhaps suggests that they suspect that Apple will never allow the Flash runtime on the iPhone.

Joan Biskupic, reporting for USA Today:

Retired Supreme Court justice Sandra Day O’Connor says she regrets that some of her decisions “are being dismantled” by the current Supreme Court.

That’s rich, considering which way she voted on Bush v. Gore.

Good for them.

On Monday, Vonage, the Internet telephony company, is releasing a mobile application for BlackBerrys, iPhones and iPod Touches. The application, which is free, will allow users to place low-cost international calls over Wi-Fi and cellular voice networks.

CNet Asks: Is the iPhone Hurting AT&Ts Brand

You can’t make this shit up:

While a recent survey by the consulting firm CFI Group found that iPhone users are the most loyal smartphone users with 90 percent saying they’d recommend the device to a friend, half of all iPhone owners surveyed said they would like to jump ship to another provider if given the chance.

So it makes sense to ask if it’s the iPhone hurting AT&T’s brand… how?
